What can I do in Bàscara and its holiday cottages?

A town with a lot of history. This is Bàscara, a municipality in the Alt Empordà, nestled right on the border with the Baix Empordà, which includes the towns of Calabuig, les Roques and Orriols. An ideal town for lovers of cultural tourism and nature that also has one of the most popular living nativity scenes in the province of Girona.

The history of Bàscara and its surroundings

At least since the beginning of the 9th century, the town of Bàscara was the possession of the bishops of Girona. The first document in which it is mentioned is from the year 817, following a trial in which the boundaries of the Baschara villa were set. Its situation as a fortified town on the main road from Girona to France accentuated its strategic importance. In fact, in 1675, Bàscara was taken by the French, who established a base camp there for the siege of Girona. During the sieges of 1808 and 1809, French troops reoccupied the town until, at the end of the war, General Suchet blew up the fortifications.

What to do during your stay at a tourist accommodation in Bàscara

Visit the historic site of the town

Bàscara, as we have explained, still preserves a walled part and an important old town. So, if you're staying in a holiday cottages in Bàscara, you can't miss the historic site of the town, with the walls and the remains of the episcopal castle or the church of Sant Iscle, declared Cultural Assets of National Interest. Another must-see are the remains of the priory of Sant Nicolau de Calabuig and the church of Sant Feliu de Calabuig. Without forgetting the castle-palace of Orriols, a building from the 16th-17th centuries with a Renaissance facade that is worth seeing.

Walk around Bàscara

If you like hiking and are lovers of active tourism, you're in luck. You can go on excursions in the vicinity of the Fluvià river and discover the natural springs and caves in the area. In addition, one of the two sections of the Way of St. James on its way through Catalonia, passes through Bàscara. The route has two variants that converge in Medinyà: you can go through Orriols, Viladasens and Cervià de Ter or through Vilademuls and Terradelles. Both options allow you to get to know small agricultural and livestock villages.

MarionaMas Verdaguer - With the family

Ideal house with truck acoustics

The house gets a 10. We had a great stay. Everything was very well equipped; nothing was missing. But nowhere did it mention that the motorway ran nearby, and you could really hear it.

Homeowners’ response: Mariona, we’re glad to hear you enjoyed the house and found it so well equipped. We’re sorry the motorway noise disturbed you during your stay. This isn’t a common complaint among guests at the house, but we’ll review it to see whether we need to include this information on the website so that this aspect is clearer.

LídiaMas Verdaguer - With the family

A spectacular weekend with some recommendations

We spent the weekend of September 18 to 20, 2026. The house is spectacular and the cleanliness is top-notch. The barbecue and paella area is great and very well prepared to enjoy it. The pool area is spectacular and at night you can enjoy luminous lights that are spectacular. The kitchen has practically everything you might need, although we would recommend adding some extra kitchen towels, especially considering the capacity of the house; we were 27 people and they were a bit short. Since we went in September, we didn't get too hot and, in addition, the house has standing fans in the different rooms. Even so, with the heat waves we have been having lately, we think it would be great to have air conditioning. Personally, in the months of June, July or August I would not book it for this reason. The only negative point was the hot water. Being so many, it ran out and they had to restart the system remotely. It took quite a while to heat up again and, when it started to come out again, it was not very hot and the feeling was cold. We do not know what the solution might be, but we believe that this is an aspect that should be reviewed considering the capacity of the house and that no one suffers from running out of hot water. About the location, I was surprised that it was so close to the road because you could hear the cars and not the birds but, it's not a drama. It's just for your information. Otherwise, we had a great weekend and we loved the house.

Homeowners’ response: Thank you very much for your feedback, and we’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your weekend at the house. We’ve taken note of your comments about the kitchen towels and the air conditioning; they’re very valuable suggestions for us. We’re sorry about the inconvenience with the hot water; it wasn’t an issue with the house’s capacity, but a fault in the home automation system that controls the boiler, which we’ve now fixed. We hope to welcome you back in the future!

Christian C.Mas Salleras - With the family

Privileged environment and a spectacular farmhouse

The house is in a spectacular rural setting full of vegetation. It has a very large amount of land that allows you to explore with children and enjoy nature. It is in a state of impeccable maintenance, very well cared for and was very clean. I have seen comments about the bats, but we used all the spaces in the house and it is true that they were there, but they did not pose any problem, on the contrary, we coexisted with them and it saved us a few mosquito bites. The spaces where they are located were really clean and well cared for. It has many kitchen utensils, both in the lower part, and upper and this is appreciated. We went with a baby and they put two high chairs for the different spaces, a detail that saved us from moving furniture all day. The check-in and check-out was perfect and the communication with the property was very fluid and friendly. There are ovens and supermarkets 5 minutes by car, also towns on the Costa Brava 20 minutes by car. I recommend you to make the visit and enjoy the surroundings.

MartaCal Ros de Calabuig - With the family

Tranquility, pool and the best views of Canigó

The house is very comfortable, all on one level, decorated with great taste and with all the necessary equipment to accommodate to its maximum capacity. Of all the rural houses in which we have stayed as a family, undoubtedly the most complete. The garden, the porch and the pool are incredible, with impressive views of Canigó. In addition, there is an area to park cars and access the house directly, very convenient. The owners, charming. They live on the top floor and you don't even notice. The area is very quiet and is close to l'Escala, with beautiful villages just a few minutes away. For shopping, in Bàscara you have everything 2 minutes away by car. Highly recommended!
